17、d “poverty“ suggests destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter. But only a small number of the 35 million persons classified as “poor“ by the Census Bureau fit that description. While the poor are generally well-nourished, some poor families
18、 do experience hunger, meaning a temporary discomfort due to food shortages. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 13 percent of poor families and 2.6 percent of poor children experience hunger at some point during the year. In most cases, their hunger is short-term. Eighty-nine pe
19、rcent of the poor report their families have “enough“ food to eat, while only 2 percent say they “often“ do not have enough to eat. The typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two col
20、or televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By his own report, his family is not hungry and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his familys essential needs. Whil
21、e this individuals life is not well-off, it is equally far from the popular images of frightening poverty conveyed by the press. 36 For most Americans, a “poor“ man is the person who _. （ A） can not afford a lot of food （ B） has no rich material wealth （ C） has no work （ D） has no money 37 In the se

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Hollywoods true heroes are losing their jobs. Stunt people (替身演员 ) who en
26、tertained cinema-goers by falling for the sky, Swimming with sharks and driving fast cars have been replaced by technology. After generations of street fights, high falls, and setting fire to themselves, these people have had nearly all their work replaced by computers. The most dangerous and costly
27、 stunts can now be achieved by mixing computer picture with live action. In the mid-1990s there were 12,000 registered stunt people, but more than half of them had difficulty finding work. Sometimes, six or seven teams would be working on a film. Then, after a few days, the producers would come in a
28、nd say, “You can go home.“ The reason was simple: cost. Computer technology made it possible to create stunts which would either be too expensive or too dangerous to attempt. With the rise of digital technology (数字技术 ), insurance companies became more reluctant to cover real stunts. “If they know it
29、 can be done safely with visual effects, the companies will not insure real stunts,“ said a stunt person. Many in their industry believe stunt people should develop expertise in the new technology, acting as advisers on the virtual stunts. Some, however, think that stunt people can survive in their
30、traditional careers. They believe that audiences wont accept stunts produced by computers for too long. 41 The most dangerous and costly stunts can be done by _. （ A） using computer graphics only （ B） mixing computer graphics and live action （ C） improving the effects of real stunts （ D） increasing
